Having multiple branches around each other also works without the X shape but you need enough that like I said he can wrap around touching 3 points of his body.

There are multiple perches in there and she does perch all the time, there is also the green netting which she crawls through that goes over the branch on the right. The last pic shows her perched. Cork bark in the back is half circle and provides a low perch and the right side branch has a looped section that forms an arboreal hide.

You are right that 3 point perches are good for them but they are fine if they go to the ground. I have a bunch that sit on the ground during the day and perch at night no matter what the set up is.

I didn't even realize I was commenting on the husbandry on someone who is very knowledgeable with amazons (no sarcasm). Very nice setup though I never thought about using netting before.
